18/19 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Ogasaka TF (The Free) is an all-round board giving Free Camber the softest flex in the Ogasaka line. Low-speed handling and presses/butters are its strengths, and low resistance in bumps, wet snow and powder makes it good for riding everything.
In exchange, it's a character that gives up high-speed stability and aggressive carving — the one model in Ogasaka's line with a high share of play.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A construction Ogasaka calls Free Camber: the nose and tail compress mildly, making the board easy to push around. A trapezoidal shape is adopted to reduce swing weight.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
The softest in Ogasaka's line. The board is easy to control at low speed and presses and butters go in well. Even its catalogue metrics read TURN 4 : PLAYFUL 6 — uniquely weighted toward play within Ogasaka.

New · Intermediate
The easiest-handling all-round board in Ogasaka's line. Built around low-speed handling, it's used from beginners to advanced riders but fits beginners to intermediates especially.
